Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen's concerns were not wrong, Japan was like an extremely difficult bone to gnaw, and the warships of the Central Naval Division blew up all the ships of Japan and all the shipyards in Japan, which was not difficult at all. But in this way, it is at most like, licking the soup on a large piece of braised pork ribs that has not been stewed for a while, and the meat is still hard, not to mention the bones.

It wasn't until the Central Naval Division of the Ming Dynasty carried more than 30,000 troops to the shore that Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen thoroughly knew that he was not wrong, it turned out that during this period of Tokugawa Ieguang, there were more than 500,000 soldiers and horses on hand, which was a very terrible number for such a small country as Japan, and the direct army of Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen himself was only, less than 100,000 people could be directly driven by him, plus Qin Liangyu, these local warlords close to the royal family, there was always an army that could be directly driven by the emperor, less than 150,000.

The highest body of the shogunate, the Shogun's mansion, was clouded for a while, and when they learned that the Ming army had reached Edo, everyone was shocked and didn't know what to do. Tokugawa Iemitsu deeply regretted that he should not have sent troops to North Korea, he didn't think that the Ming Dynasty was different from the previous Ming Dynasty, not only rebounded, but also hit the Japanese mainland?

"Drive all the Ming people off the coast!" Tokugawa Iemitsu yelled at the generals in shock.

"Huo!" A group of senior generals and staff members lay on the mat together to answer.

Tokugawa Iemitsu's guardian is Tadashi Aoyama, and the old middle is Tadashi Sakai, and Masaji Abe. Matsudaira Shigetadashi. Onaka is Matsudaira Nobutsuna. Digging Tian Zhengsheng, Abe Tadaaki, all of whom are his most loyal followers.

On the beach, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen's tanks took the lead, the infantry followed, and the tactics still worked, although the Japanese did not collapse at the first touch, but in the face of the powerful firepower of the Ming Dynasty. I can't rush up at all.

Tokugawa Iemitsu's Onaka Matsudaira Nobutsuna, who commanded the overall situation, "retreated and relied on the mountains around Edo Castle for defense." ”

Masamori Higata and Tadaaki Abe were very angry, "Although their firepower is strong, we have a lot of people!" More than 500,000 troops against 30,000 people, what are you afraid of? Rush hard! ”

Matsudaira Nobutsuna was furious, "Who is the commander?" Chiba has been lost, do you want Edo Castle to be lost as well? Do you want Akito to burn down the Tokugawa family's shrine? The Mingren's firepower is obviously above us, take a step back for the time being, and go back to discuss with the general. Execute the order now! ”

"Huo!" Several generals bowed their heads together.

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen led the army to continue to cover the killing, and chased it to the vicinity of Edo Castle. The mountains blocked, the Japanese relied on the advantage of numbers, and released arrows behind the trees, the advantage of the Ming artillery could not be brought into play, and the ammunition was limited, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen frowned and ordered to retreat to Chiba first.

From the telescope, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen can see the Edo City with strong walls, although it is not as good as Beijing, nor is it as good as the Tianjin City built by Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen, but in the Ming Dynasty, at least it is also an important town at the level of Jinan Prefecture, plus the numerical advantage, I can't help but sigh, it seems that I imagined that Zheng Yuelin's plan to take Edo City in advance and force the Japanese to cede land and pay compensation for grain is a bit whimsical, not to mention that among the more than 30,000 people, only 5,000 Imperial Forest Army has Chongzhen-style riflesEven if you get a regular army of 10,000 people from the modern era, the army-level establishment team may not be able to take this Edo Castle, it seems that Tokugawa Ieyasu, the first shogun of the Tokugawa shogunate, was able to choose to build a castle in such a place, and he was a very far-sighted person.

Yang Sichang admonished Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen, he pointed to the map and said, "Your Majesty, now it is better to use the old method of Jiannu to fight the Ming Dynasty, clean up the periphery of Edo Castle, take Edo Castle as the central point, and go to the area of Yokohama and Utsunomiya, carry out war, and use 30,000 troops to suppress Edo Castle and try to avoid attacking fortified positions." ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen nodded, "Agreed, you go and arrange it, Xu Guowei, immediately submit the details of the Korean war situation and send a telegram to Wang Chengen and Zheng Yuelin." With the latest progress on Kyushu Island and Shikoku Island, I will report it to me as soon as possible. It is necessary to make the information of the four places communicate in the first time. ”

Xu Guowei agreed to go down, Yang Sichang remembered something, and asked, "Your Majesty, do you want to destroy the Japanese farming?" If they all cowered in the city and saw us destroying the cultivated fields, they would not be able to resist fighting. ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen nodded, "Agreed!" ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen compared with the enemy, the biggest advantage is not military, but information, to be able to achieve the success of the blitzkrieg in Japan, and the convenience of information, the enemy's information blockage has a lot to do with it, but he has now also reached a peak of the war, the most elite army of the Ming Dynasty, now seems to have encountered a bottleneck, in the area of Edo Castle can not be used. The timing of this war is not very conducive to the Ming army of Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen, it is spring at this time, and it is not the harvest season, otherwise the army can grab grain while fighting, and it will also be conducive to the army to collect grain and grass.

After the battle of Edo Beach, both sides have a certain understanding of each other's strength, and at the same time are making urgent deployments, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen because he knows that the Ming Jiangnan is being poisoned by the Dutch, British and Portuguese coalition forces, and is worried that Huang Taiji will divide his troops again, taking advantage of the emptiness of the troops in the Jinggi region of the Ming Dynasty, it will be quite troublesome to make a long-distance attack again, and the anti-people in the Central Plains are also the place where the Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen is anxious, it can be said that the most tormented in the world at the moment is the Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen, and the back road has been broken, And the future is bleak.

"Fight with them! No matter how powerful their firepower is, the Great Japanese Samurai are not afraid of any strong enemy! The 100,000 people left in Edo Castle are enough to defend against a strong enemy, and the other 400,000 or so people will be fought out, and I don't blame you! Tokugawa Iemitsu said with a glare.

Tadashi Aoyama, Tadashi Sakai, Masaji Abe, Shigeta Matsudaira, Masamori Hikata Tonaka, and Tadaaki Abe all have the same opinion. The Japanese military remains strong.

"Huo!" Matsudaira Nobutsuna lay down.

"Huo!" The rest of the generals also lay on the straw mats, and the Japanese were similar to the Warring States period in ancient China at this time, but they were slightly stronger in terms of weapons than the Warring States period in China BC.

In this way, more than 30,000 troops had to fight with Tokugawa Iemitsu's army several times a day around Edo Castle, and the situation on Kyushu and Shikoku Islands was similar, and the Japanese army of Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen attacked the Japanese, with more than 1,000 casualties per day.

War is not only about gold eaters, but also about ogres.

With the passage of time, not only the Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen's heart began to hesitate, his indecision came up, and he wanted to withdraw his troops from Japan, and he fought like this, which was by no means what he expected at the beginning.

Kyushu Island and Shikoku Island, relying on the military strength of 30,000 militia is certainly not enough, the Japanese drilled into the deep mountains and old forests, there is no more than ten times the numerical advantage, if you want to have about 3 million people on the two large islands, relying on 30,000 militia to eat, it is definitely not possible, although each time it ends with the Ming army's army crushing, but the strength of this crushing is weaker and weaker each time, over time, the overall morale of the Ming army began to decline.

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen smoked a cigarette vigorously, as if he wanted to bury the whole person in the smoke cloud, "The moon is born on the sea, and the end of the world is at this time!" ”

In the smoke and clouds, Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen looked at the vast sea in a foreign land, and was confused for a while, not knowing what he came to Japan for? Originally, it was to let the Japanese cede land and pay reparations and pay for grain, so as to solve the problem of insufficient military needs and food shortage in the Ming Dynasty, but now, these are all things without a shadow, and the Ming Dynasty seems to have not climbed out of a quagmire, but has fallen into another quagmire.

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen began to be resentful, feeling that Zheng Yuelin had given him a bad idea, and felt that he was also sick, why would he obey a little girl in her twenties for the affairs of the military state?

"Your Majesty, Lord Zheng's secret message." Xu Guowei shouted softly outside the door. (A good event for pie in the sky, cool mobile phones are waiting for you!)
